The Lowdown:

When 15-year-old Mick Nochols opens a wrong mail at a wrong time, he realizes that his step mother is having an affair. He is completely engrossed with the affair, and is also distracted by other things, namely, the college-student infamous Myra, who is paying more attention to him, and is also harboring her own little dirty secret. Also, the copper-haired Lisa Doyle, who he likes so much that he feels like he is going to explode... how is he going to manage all?

The Good:

A. I loved the narration. Always love the narration!

B. I loved the plot.

C. I also liked the character, and the ending was extremely AWESOME.

The Bad:

A. I didn't really like the way Mick dealt with the cheater person.

The Consensus:

An excellent mysterious book. I really enjoyed it and I would have NEVER guessed who his step-mother cheated with. It was quite sad, actually.
